Siblings?
If I had been born her real brother. I would have been much happier...
What do you mean?
Yuki is without a doubt
a Pureblood daughter of the Kuran family.
Even a washout vampire like you, should be able to tell.
But you're on the side of those who hunt us down as well, aren't you?
What will you do now?
White rose petals
Open one or two of them
And the memory of that day turns into color
Like tracing a shining thread
Time quietly passes
Swaying along with the ebb and flow
People are reborn
Your smile is so warm it melts my heart
- Like a faint dream... ...I've had
Even if the setting sun takes away this moment
Our shadows are one
Endlessly far vastly deep like crossed destinies
Grasp it again and again
Lose it again and again
We were finally able to meet
Like the sky seeks the earth flowers wait for the rain
and the night longs for tomorrow
I've been longing for our two hearts to become one
When one or two white rose petals fall
Our love becomes eternal
SPIRALING RECOLLECTIONS
Isn't Brother coming yet?
He should be coming home soon.
Yuki, you really love your brother, don't you?
Uh-huh...
Oh!
Welcome home. Brother Kaname!
Nice to be back. Yuki.
I went to see roses that only bloom once in ten years.
But I was told they wouldn't hold up if I picked them,
so I didn't bring any back.
But next time. I'll preserve it in resin.
Were they pretty, Brother?
How long must you keep Yuki locked away
in a basement room without any windows?
Kaname...
In recent times. The Senate has been trying to take advantage
of the Purebloods' existence. As well as their powers.
We don't want Yuki to get caught up in that.
Even though we realize this is cruel.
I'm okay with this. So please don't look so upset, Brother.
I will always be by your side.
I'm surprised that you were able to slip through
the Senate's surveillance. Big Brother.
I'm here to take your precious daughter with me.
Why you-!! You want to take my child again?!
Don't worry. I'm right here with you.
But I can smell so much blood.
I'm sorry you have to be so scared.
I think these happy times made me too euphoric.
But I've come to a decision.
I promise to prepare a place...
where you won't have to be afraid again.
Kaname... Yuki.
Mother!
Mother. Where's Father?
I'm sorry. I should have taken care of Rido.
Thank you.
Please take care of Yuki.
Yuki. Come with me.
What about Brother?
Huh?! Brother!
Brother Kaname!
I'm going to put all your vampire traits to sleep,
and make you a normal human.
Mother! Where's Brother?! There's something scary outside!
Once this spell is cast, I will no longer be able to stay by you.
But I am happy that I am able to do this for you.
I hope you don't hate me for deciding this for you. But...
M-Mother...
The next time you awaken, you will... remember... nothing.
Yuki was...
That girl...
Impossible...
Anymore... and she'll die.
You would show compassion to a human?
Is that Kaname's idealism?
Yes.
The smell of this blood...
So the fruit I waited for has finally ripened.
That Kaname went ahead
and turned her into a vampire without any suffering.
It would have been better for her if she had drunk Kuran blood
while she was still human. And then was destroyed upon awakening.
So Yuki Cross was a Pureblood vampire?
Don't tell me... she's... your younger sister?
Hanabusa, there was no daughter in the Kuran family.
Yuki was the cherished daughter that Haruka and Juri kept hidden.
And...
She is the girl who was born to be my bride.
If Yuki still wishes it...
Why are you so shocked?
Intermarriage between siblings is not unusual among Purebloods.
Yes...
The person behind all the unrest that has shrouded this Academy...
is after your younger sister?
Aren't you going to ask who this enemy is?
Because you are a Pureblood is not the only reason we serve you.
I depend on you too much.
That girl is Lord Kaname's...
Yuki is without a doubt a Pureblood daughter of the Kuran.
Zero Kiryu... Ichiru's twin. Huh?
Yuki is... a Pureblood.
Ichijo, do you know the Hunter's curse regarding twins?
The Hunter's? I know its origin.
Well, they clash so much, it may not be relevant.
You seem disturbed.
Is it because you disapprove of me sacrificing that girl in order to resurrect?
Or is it because you betrayed Kaname?
Do you find it unforgivable that I am holding Senri's body hostage?!
Please stop!
Don't hide over there. Come on down. Rima.
Say... just who are you?
I'm not going to let you pass so easily.
My body... feels so hot.
I'm so... thirsty... thirsty!
Yuki...
You don't have to hold back.
Kaname... I...
It's all right. I know what you want to do.
I want...
I'm sorry, Yuki.
I've pulled you back into the curse of this repulsive blood!
...his...
I DESIRE HIS BLOOD
Yes. Like that...
Yuki...
Don't cry.
I think, perhaps, I've longed for this day.
My body is being immersed in this man's blood.
I can't tell which is me anymore.
What... is this?
A fragment of his memory?
You saw?
Yes, something very frightening.
But... I'm not human either. So...
I remembered.
That night, Mother sacrificed herself and put a lid inside me.
Father went above ground.
He said he was going to protect me from someone evil.
They were both so strong...
Yet, they're no longer here.
Why? Why did they have to go so far... to keep me away from whatever it was?!
No... calm down...
I?
Yuki, don't deny your existence.
Don't deny your parents' love for you.
For ten years... I've watched over you in their place.
You, who had forgotten everything.
Kaname...
Brother...
Something's wrong with me.
Why?
Because all this time. I've been in love with my brother.
What of it?
But all this time. I've lived as a human being.
So? You and I are betrothed.
We're going to be like Mother and Father someday.
You and me Big Brother?
Mother and Father were siblings.
But that... that just seems...
Something only animals would do?
You're right.
We are not human.
Or, will you leave, making me alone once more?
Alone...
What is this smell? Blood? Whose?
Yes. Yuki... Just enjoy the smell of blood.
By doing so, you will know where you truly belong.
Stay here, Yuki. I will be right back.
Who?
This disturbing presence and this smell of blood?
It's not Zero...
Rima!
I said I won't let you pass easily!
How dare you scar a model's face!!
I'm relieved because it's not Zero's blood?
I don't have any right to worry about that.
I'm glad that I was born a vampire at times like this.
Wounds heal very quickly.
Rima, don't overexert yourself.
Ichijo...
Please stop!
Now is not the time to taint Shiki's hands in this manner.
And what if I tell you that I'm going to destroy all who defy the Senate anyway,
in accordance with Ichio's wishes?
Lord Rido!
How disgusting!
You may look and sound like Shiki, but don't presume to talk down to me!
Hey, you in there! I'm going to drive you out of Shiki's body!
Resign yourself!
As if that's so easy.
Rima!
I missed?
Don't interfere, Ichijo.
Lord Rido!
Shiki...
You fool! Letting people have their way with you!
You have to love yourself more!
Do not defy me... Senri!
Just a little more...
Hurry! Hurry...
Yuki Cross.
I am... a Pureblood vampire.
Yes... You are that which Zero absolutely despises... a monster.
Yes there's no way I can stay near him.
I've been deceiving him all this time.
Furthermore I let him drink my blood.
I was so wrong in thinking I was saving him!
How could I?!
Such a hypocrite!
Yet... I still...
want to see Zero.
And what will you do?
Talk to him.
What could you say to him at this point?
I want to see... Zero!
Hey, Hanabusa.
Hmm?
Looks like she's going to escape, after all.
Yuki Cross!
I mean, Lady Yuki Kuran...
Lord Kaname ordered us to stay here and protect you.
Please move away, Aido, Kain.
We can't do that.
Please return to your room, Yuki!
Please move aside!
Both of you...
If you do not want Kaname to chew you out, you can come with me.
Seiren, it will soon be daybreak.
Gather those who are able to move during the day to guard Sun Dorm.
They are not to let any Day Class students outside.
I understand, my master.
Lord Kaname...
Ruka...
I've surmised what is happening
from the scent of the blood and the surroundings.
Why do you look so apologetic?
I have been a fool. Only concerned with my own feelings.
Until I was faced with the truth...
I will go to the Sun Dormitory too.
Ruka...
Forgive me.
I was just caught up in my own dreams...
So please don't apologize... Lord Kaname.
Then Ruka... I will say something that is very unfair to you.
I trust you.
Thank you very much.
Akatsuki, perfect timing.
It's almost dawn. But please continue to guard the Sun Dormitory.
There are no Day Classes today. No one is to be allowed outside.
Hey, Ruka...
Are you all right?
I want to prove that I'm a cool, reliable woman. Besides...
I'm not the one who will be facing enormous difficulties from now.
If I still have the strength...
I thought I had come here with my mind made up.
But...
It sounds like you're saying you really need me.
A dry white cloud passes
Slowly drifting
I am gray
And I just watch it
Disappear
I gather stars
And make a sand castle
My small prayer
Spills over and falls
The wave that was lying in wait
Sweeps me off my feet
Next time: "Revival of the Mad Emperor"
